2009 Pro Bowl Open Thread

RB Marshawn Lynch is Bills' lone Pro Bowl representative
Photo courtesy BuffaloBills.com
The 2009 NFL Pro Bowl airs today at 4:30 PM ET (or, in more important terms, now) on NBC. In the last football game of the 2008 season, one Buffalo Bill will be playing amongst the all-stars, and unsurprisingly, it's running back Marshawn Lynch.
I'm not a huge proponent of the Pro Bowl, because, well, it's extremely dull. But, since it's my last opportunity to catch a glimpse of Marshawn toting the rock for a good six months or so, I'll make a trip 'round NBC's way at some point this afternoon. If you've got anything to say about the Pro Bowl, Lynch or the 2008 NFL regular season, this is the spot to do it. Go Marshawn!

Agreed. People should at the very least watch the pilot where the plane crashes. I wasn’t sold on watching the show at all and just threw on the first episode out of boredom and I went from uninterested to sitting on the edge of my seat rather quickly. The pilot is loud and intense and will suck you in to craziness that is Lost.

I just picked him because you’re the eternal optimist, and he’s “the man of faith”- I, unlike Lost, don’t have a whole lot of subtext to what I was picking.

The whole time travel thing is screwing with me. Why didn’t Jin have the flash and move back/ahead in time when the Frenchies were talking with him? How did he get stuck back in time when he was OFF the island? At least it was easy to predict that he wasn’t dead. I’m guessing Michael is still alive and he and Walt need to make a triumphant return. Walt, I thought he was going to be a key cog in the story.

I think Jin was floating on that wreckage the whole time and actually has been moving around through time just like everyone else on the island. He just finally made his way back into the story when he happened to be back in time 15 or 20 years ago or whenever Rousseau and her crew were making their way to the island. Does that make sense?
by kaisertown on Feb 10, 2009 12:50 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Wouldn’t he be at the same point in time as Sawyer, Faraday, Locke and the rest? Unless the clip of him is prior to them getting back to the current time….

Seriously. With his “magical powers” and whatnot, I thought for sure he was going to have role. Instead, they just wrote him off for the most part. Of course, the writers can all screw with us and bring him back as the ringleader or something.
